Cosmetics aside, I filled in four holes on the cabin wall facing the cockpit that I assume once held analog instruments. I cut plywood circles with a hole saw the same size as the holes I was filling, and used West System to epoxy them in place. I was then able to cut the smaller holes needed to mount newer instruments in the same locations. I used pieces of thin Starboard to cover over the work on the outside, so I didn't need to worry about how the repair looks. The end result is that my new instruments are mounted on starboard, which looks fine. It looks original to the boat.

There’s a 4.5” circular hole in the cabin wall and interior liner. Right now I’m covering it temporarily with a teak panel. Longer term I might like to glass in the holes for that and other instruments, and go to more flat-panel electronic instruments. So, can anybody advise me on the procedure for re-glassing a 4.5” circular hole in a cabin wall, and liner? The cabin wall looks to be maybe 3/8” thick, and the liner maybe 3/16” think, both uncored. Thank you in advance.
